A few weeks ago (June 2016) I flew solo to Bangkok, Thailand to visit my Thai high school friend. Hubby was super cool with that. My trip fell on a weekday, so the kids were in school during the day and he just needed to take care of them before and after school.

I have not seen my Thai friend since 1999. We were classmates at an international school in Beijing. She left China before me but thanks to Facebook, we reconnected. She arranged to fetch me from Don Moeong airport and bring me to another province called Samut Songkhram (Mae Klong), for another experience.

Eating local food with my Thai friend. We have not seen each other in 17 long years!

My busiest time of the year is over. What a relief! Now I’m looking forward to our two upcoming trips — one in July with my whole family to Port Dickson and another longer trip (2 weeks) in September to the land of Koalas with hubby, the girls and my parents!

What have we been up to?

We went for a short getaway in Johor a few weeks ago to celebrate hubby’s birthday. Drove to Gunung Pulai and hiked a quarter up.

We also went to Disney on Ice show when they came to Singapore. Girls loved it.

We renewed our zoo yearly membership pass
Gotta make full use of it now!

The girls had a mini school project to do at home with the help of the parents. They chose an electric heater and an oven.

I travelled to Kuala Lumpur and missed my flight back! Had to purchase another air ticket (whatever that was available). Oman air it was! My first time travelling on this airline.

The girls (and so am I) are really into “how to cake it” youtube videos (we have watched all her videos and look forward to new videos every week). They also enjoy watching kids cooking/baking channel and wanted to make popsicles after watching an episode on how to make fruit popsicles.

We ‘baked’ chocolate cake in this pan too

The other day we went to East Coast beach and there was this sand ‘hill’

Chalene was down with fever the other day. We stayed home and kept her busy with some painting.
